Ok, it seems there's no alternative... I have zero desire to do it, but I'll proceed deleting my profile/opening a new one.

I think that at the end we're doing the same thing: the difference is that I included/include exercises' calories because I left MFP on "non active" level, and this because I have no routine, sometimes exercise a lot, other zero, so I can't know before. In fact, at 54 years, my baseline was 1200 in losing, and less than…

--- Yes, what you write is what I intended: MFP is not TDEE, but neat (so you add exercises, right?), while in TDEE (fromm other calculators) exercises is already included, right? (As for chores etc, I specified it is in MFP ifyou set it at maintainance. At losing, no, that's the part that give you a deficit). Perhaps I…

Why have you to renounce? Health's reasons? If not, why don't you allow yourself a "treat" or two, whether is chocolate or other, every day? Save some calories from your daily/weekly budget for it, and there's no reason to renounce. On the contrary, if you don't allow yourself the foods you like, you'll end craving and…

Simplifying a lot: you can eat: 1) TDEE (= breathing etc + living - as chores etc) + exercises): is *all* included, so eat TDEE and nothing more 2) maintainance set by MFP (= breathing + living as chores etc): eat this + exercises' calories that you log by hand (use a conservative estimate)

TDEE yes, and in fact is what could potentially lead you to eat too much: if (for instance) you set high level of activity, but then something prevent you exercising a day (or, other example, you are not very great a day, so you exercise but not so hard), it doesn't consider it: TDEE is fix, so to say. Instead, try to set…

Not every night, but many nights yes, I eat before sleeping. Sometimes just before, others after dining, at no precise time. I go by instinct: if I feel desire of a snack, I learnt that renouncing will keep me awake, so I learnt to... follow my gut :smiley: In this season, usually I have a very small bowl of "porridge" (20…

Personal experience: I tried with TDEE at the beginning of maintaining, and the weight began creeping up. So, after 6 weeks without changes in this direction, I changed method, that is I began eating the minimum set by MFP for my maintaining (lower than TDEE) + all exercises' calories (based on week, not daily, so some…

Goal: 20’/day of “Walk with Leslie Sansone” (in addition to my usual steps and occasionally other exercises). (I’ll keep track also of how much I drink because, especially in winter, I always have even less than the minimum 1.4 litres prescribed by doctors in Italy! I have to improve!!!) ✔ 1, Thu – Leslie 20’ ✔ (+ 15’…

My son is celiac and I have a congenital heart condition. We eat lots and lots of vegetables and lots and lots of fish; then cheese (once a week, for heart), eggs (ditto) and poultry (ditto); and, along with gluten free bread, we accompany plates with rice of every kind (basmati, for instance), mais or buckwheat or legumes…

Yes, I mean that, but the weirdness is that even if I've deleted them (checking the square), both in recent and in more used, they reappear! And there's more (I forgot to mention it before): sometimes the foods I see in "recent" are really the most recent I used, but (too many) times they are food I didn't use since a lot…

No, I don't, but we here (Italy) use to eat very "simple", very rarely add toppings and similar (for instance, here it would be unconceivable adding ice cream to cake: they are two desserts, eaten in two different meals; we don't use mayo or ketchup etc; we use butter only in "risotto", but very very little, the doses I…

I thnik the sense is: olive oil is way more healthy than butter/margarine (obv mayo etc etc), so better that than other things. BUT also olive oil is fattening, and also olive oil is un-healthy if you exaggerate with it, so okay using it, but in right quantitities, not drowning your meal in it: 2 tbsp is your right…

My husband too had it some months ago: no fibers (so no legumes and fruit too), and also no cheese/dairy and no spices and no many other things. We ate refined pasta (without tomatoes ecc...) and canned tuna for a week (rice was "better no"). No hunger because of giant doses of pasta, but really boring, everything was…

I hear you. For me, the problem with relatives is the place of the house. I mean, not time, but the room itself where to exercise. I mainly walk, and this obviously I can do when/where I want, but pre-pandemic I really loved doing also about 3-4 videos/week of "Walk with Leslie Sansone". Nothing major, about 20 minutes…

Hi, new to this group (sorry, English second language, forgive my howlers). Would be okay if I commit with the goal of doing every day a 20' video of "Walk with Leslie Sansone"? (I already walk a lot every day, and for this I don't need a challenge, but for Leslie I need it, don't know why - because I really love it! - but…

Hi :smile: Lot of ideas in MFP blog: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/recipes/?keyword=500%20calories

Health.

It wasn't me the poster, I was one of the answerers offering my humble ideas :smile:

For me, it works at the opposite: if I know that I prefer/want/would be better eat only at fixed hours, I suddenly desire to eat no stop. On the contrary, if I know that when I want I can graze a little, then I suddenly stop having craves :-D But perhaps that's because, as I said, I've always been at home, since from more…

I'm always stuck at home, because I work from home. So, first I try drinking (water and/or coffee with very little sugar) and then, when it's a no-day, I simply give up and graze. First of all, I have always a great part of next meal ready (I meal prep in the weekend, so in the morning I have only to take out from freezer…

No need to complicate things, if you don't have time/desire to cook: you can eat healthy also on the fly. * eggs and legumes (olive oil: a little drop in a pan, then use a foil of kitchen paper to spread it and remove all the excess; legumes from the tin, simply remember to rinse them very well; a pinch of salt. If you…

@SavageMrsMoose wowww! Great, congratulations!

And now, in oven :-) (The source here, then I modified a little - added also rosemary, sage and chive; used scallion instead of onion 'cause my mother is allergic; and added also carrots. And normal black olives instead of kalamata because I don't like kal. Serves five, with basmati - and bread for my son.)…
